Immediately after payment of charges and completion of form, we'll send your package. It should be pejorative in taught that payment should be completed first afterwhich we'll pay your Insurance and Notarization fee before Delivery. This is to avoid interception on Express because we are sending a check with a lump sum of amount. This firm is sentient of British Taxes which must be cleared after confirmation of your payment, Air Freight Courier & Diplomatic Company is giving you guarantee that such parcel like yours takes such procedures.

Note: The charges are a little high because of the insurance cover we have undertaken incase of loss, damage or theft of your highly sensitive consignment content. We assume all responsibilities incase of any eventualities. Air Freight Courier & Diplomatic Company do not allow Cash on delivery (C.O.D) as all payment must be made in this office before shipment can commence.

This company declined reverse payment for these charges, stating that it is against their professional policy towards ensuring the safe delivery of the check to you. That if a reverse payment is made, and something goes wrong, that we/you cannot sue the courier company or insurance company to recover the full value of the fund as stipulated in the check since payment for insurance cover was not made at point of mailing. With the above reason, reverse payment is ruled out.

Be informed that the winning cheque can only be cleared by you with the provision of your I.D (Driving license/passport). Air Freight Courier & Diplomatic Company do not have the authority to cash your check or send your funds via bank-to-bank account. Please take note.

Have your ID card in hand. This will be required by the delivery officer on arrival in your country before handing you your Winning Package. Hope you understand this email and its contents. Please feel free to contact me for any queries/clarification (s).
